Editing Template:Portal/doc (section)

== Image ==
The portal image names are stored in subpages of [[Module:Portal/images]], organised by the first letter of the portal name. For example, the first letter of [[Portal:Feminism]] is "F", so the image name is stored at [[Module:Portal/images/f]]. If there is an entry for a portal on the correct page then the corresponding image will be shown next to the portal link. If no image is found then [[:File:Portal-puzzle.svg]] will be shown instead.

It is also possible to specify aliases for portal images. For example, the code {{tlx|Portal|Detroit}} produces the same image as the code {{tlx|Portal|Metro Detroit}}. The "Detroit" alias is found on the page [[Module:Portal/images/aliases]].

The image-detection algorithm is case-insensitive. For example, the code {{tlx|Portal|Detroit}} will produce the same image as the code {{tlx|Portal|detroit}} (although the portal links will be different). Portal names are stored in lower case in the image subpages, and input is converted to lower case before being checked.

To add new images to the list, please <span class="plainlinks">[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template_talk:Portal&action=edit&preload=Template:Edit_protected/preload&preloadparams%5b%5d=edit%20template-protected&preloadparams%5b%5d=&editintro=Template:Edit_protected/editintro&preloadtitle=Image+edit+request+on+{{CURRENTDAY}}+{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}}+{{CURRENTYEAR}}&section=new make a protected edit request at Template talk:Portal]</span> to get an administrator to edit the correct subpage for you. Portal images must be either in the public domain or available under a [[WP:ICTIC|free license]] that allows commercial reuse and derivative works; [[Wikipedia:Non-free content|fair-use]] images are not acceptable. The template {{tl|Portal icon demonstration}} may be of use when deciding whether an image is suitable for use as a portal icon; it formats an image using the same size and style that the {{tl|Portal}} template uses by default.

A list of portals and aliases of portals without icons can be found at [[User:Dreamy Jazz Bot/Portals needing icons]]. It is updated infrequently, so ping the [[User:Dreamy Jazz|bot owner]] to update the list.
